Baked crescent pirozhki made of crumbly sour cream dough with a braised apple filling. There is no need to wait for the dough, as it contains no yeast.

Method

Grate the cold butter (100 g) into the flour with the baking powder, salt and 2 tbsp of sugar and rub into crumbs.
Add the sour cream and 1 egg, quickly knead a soft dough, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Peel the apples and grate on a coarse grater. Melt 20 g of butter, braise the apples for 3 minutes, transfer to a sieve and cool.
Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll into thin discs. Place a pinch of sugar and a tablespoon of apples on each.
Brush the edges with the beaten second egg, fold into a crescent and press with a fork. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
Brush the pirozhki with egg and bake at 180–190 °C for 20–25 minutes until golden.
